What it tastes like.

The exquisite complexity of fresh and dry fruit...
Composed of approximately 2/3 of grape juice and 1/3 of Cognac, blended just after the grape harvesting. Aged in oak barrels more than 5 years after the blend. Plums and pear aromas, with some dried fruit hints (nut, hazelnut,). To be tasted pretty cool as an aperitif, but also a matchless dessert wine (vanilla cream, creme brulee, Tatin tart, white chocolate...) or as well with a goose liver pate.
Colour: Mahogany colour, deep rose
Nose: Candied quince, blackberries, blackcurrant, white tobacco
Palate: Firm but supple, perfume generous and powerful red fruits

17.5% ABV

About Francois Voyer.

Cognac — Grande Champagne 1er Cru (Verrières) ·Est. 1875

François Voyer is a five-generation Cognac estate in Verrières, in the heart of Grande Champagne. The Chauchet-Voyer family had been growing vines in Verrières and Ambleville since the French Revolution; François Voyer formalised the Cognac brand in 1875. The estate now covers 70 hectares including 8 hectares of Grande Champagne 1er Cru around Saint-Même-les-Carrières. The house operates as a single-estate producer — distilling and bottling everything in-house. Pierre Vaudon took over in 2017 as the fifth generation.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Francois Voyer

Cognac — Grande Champagne 1er Cru (Verrières)

The Chauchet-Voyer family has been cultivating vineyards in Verrières and Ambleville — both villages in the Grande Champagne sub-appellation of Cognac — since the French Revolution. François Voyer formalised the Cognac brand under his own name in 1875 and built the house into a recognisable single-estate producer. Five generations have continued the work; in 2017 Pierre Vaudon took over the operation as the fifth-generation steward. The family vineyard is now organised around La Maison François Voyer's holdings of 70 hectares, including 8 hectares of Grande Champagne 1er Cru around Saint-Même-les-Carrières.

François Voyer works as a single-estate Cognac house: only Grande Champagne grapes, distillation and bottling done in-house, no purchasing of finished spirit from other estates. The range covers VS (Terre de Grande Champagne, 5 yrs), VSOP, Napoléon (15 yrs), XO Gold (20–30 yrs), Hors d'Âge, and the rare single-vintage Lot releases including the Lot 93 cask-strength expression. The single-estate model — increasingly uncommon in Grande Champagne, where most production is sold to négociants — gives Voyer's wines a consistent stylistic signature across the age tiers.
